About Yasir Qadhi

Yasir Qadhi is someone that believes that one's life should be judged by more than just academic degrees and scholastic accomplishments. Friends and foe alike acknowledge that one of his main weaknesses is ice-cream, which he seems to enjoy with a rather sinister passion. The highlight of his day is twirling his little girl (a.k.a. "my little princess") round and round in the air and watching her squeal with joy. A few tid-bits from his mundane life: Sh. Yasir has a Bachelors in Hadith and a Masters in Theology from Islamic University of Madinah. He is presently working on his PhD in Islamic Studies at Yale University. He is an instructor and Dean of Academic Affairs at AlMaghrib, and has appeared on a number of Islamic channels including Huda, Islam Channel and Al-Fajr. He has written several books in English including Introduction to the Sciences of Qur'an, Riyaa: Hidden Shirk, Dua: the Weapon of the Believer, and many more.

  1. When I hear the recitation of Surah Yusuf and reach the point when the brothers of Yusuf alayhi asslam entered, and met him, I feel that years of adversity are short. Injustice will be come to an end.
    Hearing that part of the surah, I feel that there are years, months, days, or moments between the darkness of the night and the brightness of the day.
    Our feeling that the duration of the adversity has been long or short depends on the depth of our belief in Allah, His wisdom, His knowledge, His ability, and His generosity.
    O Allah! Grant us firm faith in You. Amen.
